Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about AI4SavvySeniors workshops and approach
-
Absolutely. We meet you where you are. Whether you interact with AI daily or haven't explored it yet. You're probably already using AI in banking, customer service, and smartphones without realizing it. These workshops help you engage intentionally rather than accidentally.
-
We don't teach you to "catch up." Your decades navigating technology waves—from typewriters to smartphones—give you pattern recognition that younger users lack. We position your caution as strategic discernment, not a deficit to overcome.
-
Pew research shows 74% of seniors feel they lack control over AI use, but control starts with recognition. This workshop teaches you to spot sycophancy, test AI against itself and approach AI with a healthy skepticism.
-
No. And we'll show you why it shouldn't. MIT research reveals AI makes confident-sounding mistakes (hallucinations), can't exercise fiduciary duty, and lacks true comprehension. We teach you to use AI as a research assistant while maintaining decision-making authority for high-stakes matters.
-
That's a legitimate concern. 46% of seniors share it. Our Workshop 3 teaches healthy boundaries: time limits (30 minutes max per session), purpose limits (research only, not companionship), and warning signs of dependency. You'll learn to set clear limits so you remain in command of your own thinking.
-
Yes. AI is fundamentally different from search engines. It generates new text based on patterns, not retrieves existing documents. AI can confidently present false information that doesn't exist anywhere on the internet. Google shows you what websites say; AI invents what sounds plausible. Different skills needed.
